Development request - XMP sidecar files


Uwe

Recommended Posts

Hello,

one of my main problems is that Daminion still does not support sidecar files for all formats that are not natively supported by Daminion, as other DAMs/programs have done for a long time. By that I do not mean "special" sidecar files (e.g. .dop), but XMP sidecar files with XMP standard XMP tags, as they exist for the RAW formats. As the standalone version of Daminion is no longer available, I had to rely on another DAM (IMatch) during a three-month trip to import all photos/documents on the go and tag them. For the native formats, it was no problem for Daminion to process them when I got home. However, "lost" for Daminion and therefore for me are all the tags/information that IMatch wrote in the XMP sidecar files of other formats, e.g. GPX files, LibreOffice formats. The only option for me now is to manually add the tags that are already stored in the XMP sidecar file of the original GPX file to each individual GPX file in Daminion. However, these tags are then only in the Daminion database and therefore not available "outside". Please don't argue with CSV export. So will Daminion ever process sidecar files for "all" formats in the very near future?

Hopefully, Uwe
